I've just been in South Africa, used card everywhere. Didn't take any cash out so can't comment on the ATM fees.

My JNB morning office. Moving back to my TNR office.

Didn't force the issue on getting the paperwork from Europcar (my least fav. car rental provider..... which they proved again, was for good reason!) when I picked up the car in Eswatini on the weekend. Got the e-mail invoice yesterday and it had 2x charges for additional insurance. Ummmmmmmm...

The view from my office for the next few days at the Protea at Wanderers. I started with a car park view, but 3 rooms later ended up with a front road view instead...

I managed to get around Eswatini with card only, but that's without going too far off the beaten track. If you want to go more local, then you'll want cash. Rand is accepted everywhere, so useful if passing through South Africa.

The new airport is miles away from everything. It's named after the king... it just so happens to also be only 10km from his compound. Go figure, eh? ;) As it's my wedding anniversary today and Mrs FB is back at home, I bought her some hand made candles. Yes, she also received some nice flowers...

Unfortunately I spent my whole time in the country in bed and the bathroom vomiting and such, but I was surrounded by nature so was still able to grab a few great shots. Went for the further back exit row this time (all economy plane, legroom was tight in 1A on the flight over). Air Eswatini E135.

My office to SHO (Eswatini). Another country ticked off the list 👍🏻 The candle making was cool, they make some interesting ones!

My office for most of last night and this morning, after getting some food poisoning last night at the hotel (can't catch a break!).... Taking a punt on today working out as planned, my Bidvest Premier Lounge office at JNB.... ah... but where to next @MARTINE? 🤔;) Long queues for security and...

Alright, well it's only 6.30am here .. so, soon .. soon! But not too soon ;)

I'd better not show today's office then :P

Alright, now I'm really cheesed off. Someone (maybe security screening at TNR?) broke the lock on my bag (TSA approved lock, but I guess it means nothing outside USA) - I've only just noticed as I went to open my bag at the hotel and then realised ........it wasn't locked....... and, someone has...

Did she point out he referred to GDPR rather than UK GDPR, which is different, and what was breached? BTW on my previous WCMO post here is proof they are full of BS, 1 adult booking for tonight and the difference between the breakfast rate and the breakfast and dinner rate is 400. If it only...

UK or EU, or other place for the rental?

It's making me an absolute mint! Today's office views from TNR. Flying Airlink, J seat was OK as I had 1A but couldn't work out if the meal was different. Beef was nice and tender though, and tasty. Pre departure drinks was a tray of bottles of water with a choice of still or sparkling 😅...
